Mach5 only as "stand-alone"and not as plugin in DP's V-rack

Hello again,
I've recently had to reinstall and authorize most of my music software; Mach5 v3.2.1 was one of the items.
With a little help from Dave Roberts at Motu I've managed to get Mach5 authorized and functioning ; however it only works as a "stand-alone" Instruments and Digital Performer will not "see it" and post it on the list of available Instrument plug-ins, consequently not loading the instrument in the V-rack.

The Mach5 v3.2.1. component (AU as well as VST) has been installed in the correct folder/location by its installer, being: Library>Audio>Plugins>Components>MachFive3.component.
There, the component sits besides my other previously installed components such as Altiverb6, Garritan Aria Player, Stylus RMX, which are all available and functional as plug-ins within the Digital Performer7.24 V-rack.
Mach5 does not figure on the list of available instruments in the V-rack. Am I missing something? Weird because it works perfectly well as a stand alone instrument but only as a stand-alone instrument, not as a plug-in inside DP.

Can someone perhaps share some insights or words of wisdom?
Thanks and best regards . Alix

PS: I'll send this message to the DP as well as the M5 forum

Hurray!

I've resolved the issue by consulting the DP7 manual and "checking" the M5 plugin in the audio-plugin preferences window (page833). DP simply had to examine the AU extension, validate it and restart the audio engine once more.
And voilĂ ! It was no big deal in the end.

Cheers!
